I probably at some time in my life have been called a dummy.  The 
word today is not as commonly used as it was a few decades ago. An image
 of dumb that sticks in my mind is of chickens. Those that handle large 
numbers of chickens transport them grouped in small cages. I have seen a
 cage opened expecting the chickens to rush to get out, but to my 
amazement only seeing an open door, not even one chicken trying to get 
out. Even after being put out they try to return to the "comfort" of 
their uncomfortable life. It's sad they learn to live in their own 
captivity.Have you known someone in the midst of a struggle or maybe just a rough life, and you being able to see a clear way out for them? Time and time again they bump into the same wall. That's dumb we think.
Maybe though the saddest part of all this is the rest of us that do nothing or little to help, or just being an example and light showing them the way to move ahead.
You are the light of the world. Show others a better way of living. Guide someone to Jesus today.
